Nan, he is now eating how Peter and I eat. Only food made from scratch, no packaged foods, all natural, measured protein (he gets 8 ounces of meat per meal, women get 4 ounces) and unlimited veggies and breakfast and after workout is a large shake made of almond milk, bananas, berries, beets and whey protein. ( I use hemp protein but can't print what hubby said when I put it in his. ). No calorie or carb counting. This is the first ten days to detox after that you add in an extra fruit with your meals and either sprouted grain bread or quinoa, black or brown rice, sweet potatoe or a winter squash for your starches. It's easy, not restrictive and uber healthy. He is doing well.

good afternoon ! it is a cold one here i don't even want to know what the actual number is.

eveline , so glad you are enjoying your class - i used to do that and liked it very much.

ana - melodee is not a lapster ,she just likes to be very close but only actually touching with a small part of herself (unless i'm typing ,then my hands are a head rest ). funny little habits she has.

nan , i hope you enjoy the game - stay warm ,and squeeze sassy for me.

glad to hear some good news for you sharon ,it takes time , but it will get better each week.

Ana sounds good!! Glad he decided to join you!! I know if I eat breakfast I'm not hungry during the day so therefore not snacking. Where as....if I don't eat then I want to snack all day. Therefore I try to eat breakfast most days!

niteowl hope it warms up for you soo. I thought it was warm in the desert area.?? We were at about 5 when Sassy and I took our first walk but it warmed up to a nice 26!!

Niteowl, Merlin will head to bed and wait awhile, then come back and look, and head back to bed, and repeat until we join him. He doesn't get weekend schedules versus weekday and he is always ready to head to bed at the weeknight time.

Nan, hubby always skipped breakfast and I make him have his shake now to start the day. It makes a big difference. He isn't whining much.

Gonna close off for the evening. I got some exercise this afternoon. We took Cory for a walk. Then came back and took Winston and Chloe. Then I walked up to Ginny's and took her yellow lab Curtis for a walk. What a sweet boy and walks right by your side.

Nite all.

Bets

Just watched Batman 3......now watching football. House is deChristmased but my body is talking to me about it.

It is cold enough for a fire, but wouldn't you know, we don't have any wood for the first time in many years. This evening hubby mentioned that the place we used to get our firewood from many years ago seems to be selling it again, so maybe we will get some next weekend. Of course, then it will warm right up.

After I got off of work I went straight to Mom's. I was debating on whether to go over there at all today, because it was cold and breezy all day, but before I got off it got sunny, and warmed up a bit. All I could think about was Baby waiting for me to come and play with her.

That's all I needed. We went to the creek for a while, and then across the road to look for points, but found nothing today.

When I got home, I had to shower, eat, and then get ready for tomorrow, before I sat down.

Almost time for bed now.

Gotta go get a new diner day started.

I hope you all had a great day and a nice evening.

joe
